We had a brilliant time here at Beit Al-Baraka House. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. It is a beautifully decorated house and the rooms are set on 2 different floors each with a kitchen. There are beautiful photographs of local sites and traditions hung on the walls. The house is perfectly situated within 5 mins walking distance of the Umm Qais ruins of the ancient Gadara and we could walk back to the house easily at night after dinner which we had at the Romero restaurant at the ruins. It was also fabulous to walk back to the ruins in the morning to watch the sunrise over the town. Beit Al-Baraka house has a beautiful garden full of fruit trees and we enjoyed relaxing there. It has also a wonderful terrace over looking the town, and we highly recommend having tea up there to watch the sunrise. We then had a most generous and hearty breakfast full of locally produced traditional food including home-made jams and butter and freshly baked bread. We had a chance to buy some of the jams and take them back home with us too! This guest house is a special place in Jordan and we highly recommend it. We will visit here again.

Although finding the place appeared difficult on the map (it wasn't really but we missed the first road), we were able to call the host Shawkie on the phone and he was very helpful to direct us to the house, and he called us afterwards to check that we had arrived. Thank you!

When we arrived in al-Baraka around 4pm, we were told that there was a double booking and we had to stay at another place as they were fully booked. This is spite of an email exchange before we arrived. This was our second day in Jordan and we were tired from the trip so this did not go down well. They put us up at Beit Philodemus, which was indeed a lovely place with charming owners. To compensate for the mishap, they offered to buy us a sim card for Jordan, which was very welcome as we had just arrived and planned to stay for a fortnight. We had breakfast at Beit al-Baraka, which was indeed the best we had in Jordan. As we didn't stay there, all we can say is that the Beit al-Baraka looks cosy, the rooms we saw had a nice view and it has a nice garden. It was also easy to find and we appreciated being given instructions on how to get there.

To you I say Mr & Ms traveller, as you are now I was before, and as I am now you will be, enjoy Beit Al Baraka as we did, an experience that we will never forget! the amazing staff, we had 2 experiences (cycling & beekeeping) that both exceeded our expectations. The food was mind blowing especially the breakfast - special thanks to the lovely local ladies who cooked our meals. Umm Qais is a place that I will definitely visit again as well as Beit Al Baraka.

The bathroom was very clean, but it needs some renovation to make this great guest house a better place.

We had the opportunity to experience authentic Jordanese-Palestinian continue through home-cooked meals for breakfast and dinner in a nearby place. You meet with real people that care for you because they really do, not because their job requires it. Very authentic experience. Don't forget to go for dinner at Bein Ne'la's place and try some of the delicious homemade marmalades from citrusy fruits they made. Umm Qais archeological site is within 10 minutes of walking distance and the view of Golan heights is amazing.

Nothing, everything was better than expected.

Warm welcome. Very good food, good selection of Jordanian dishes. The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and welcoming and it is interesting to meet the people from local families who provide the meals. It is a comfortable, quiet and interesting place to stay with a lovely terrace and garden. And the stunning Umm Qais site is 5 minutes' walk away. This community project is the best bed and breakfast I have found in Jordan and I would sooner go here than to any of the fancy hotels.Beit

Hard to criticise, especially now air conditioning/heating units have now been installed.

We stayed two nights in this lovingly maintained house. The rooms were large and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the freshly prepared breakfast. The location is great for visiting Um Quais, and you can find a few convenient shops in the vicinity.

The place benefits immensely from being the only accomodation of a certain standard in town. It doesn't offer enough value for money for Jordan standards, as bathrooms are shared and all extras (for example the family dining experience and the honey) are really expensive. The goal of supporting the community is admirable, but we would have appreciated a bit more support from the owners.

Staff were super friendly and the breakfasts were amazing and too. Really comfortable room. We also loved having space to relax in (even though we only used it for a cuppa on the first evening, as we were so busy!), As well as a kitchen to get fresh water and store some things in the fridge The most delightful spot to stay - Umm Qais is just amazing!

Bit of a noise from the bathroom - boiler?? But really not a massive problem.

amazing location! women who provided breakfast and dinner were exceptional. food was really delicious. view from our corner room was incredible! comfortable common room to meet with other travellers.

price seemed a bit high but there are not many other options in the area. the response time from the office was very slow when we were there. wifi is off and on but is possibly more about the area and likely not so much the property.

The breakfast was fantastic, freshly prepared by local women. We really enjoyed our tour with Ahmed to see the sunset over the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee, as well as our tour the next day with Ahmed of Gadarra. The atmosphere of the Inn is cozy and is comfortable for a long stay, although we only had one night.

The beds could be a bit more comfortable.

Very individual, staff very personable. Quite old fashioned and quirky but very clean and comfortable, plenty of space. Nice roof top terrace, and very close to walk to Roman ruins. Fabulous breakfast, the best we had during our three weeks in Jordan!

Would have been nice to have en suite bathroom, but we were aware when booking that this was not the case, and the bathroom was literally next door, so not really a problem
